Internet Disruption Hits India and Pakistan After Red Sea Cable Cuts*

Srinagar, Sep 7: Major internet connectivity problems have been reported across several parts of India and Pakistan following the damage to multiple international undersea fiberoptic cables in the Red Sea. The disruption has significantly slowed down browsing speeds, video streaming, and communication services, creating widespread inconvenience for millions of users.

According to initial assessments, at least four major submarine cables that carry data traffic between Asia, Europe, and the Middle East were cut earlier this week. These cables form a critical part of the global communication network, and their damage has severely affected regional bandwidth availability.

Telecom operators and internet service providers in both India and Pakistan have acknowledged the outages. They have assured customers that emergency measures are being taken to reroute data traffic through alternative international networks. However, experts say rerouting capacity is limited, which is why users will continue to experience slow internet speeds until full restoration is achieved.

Repairing submarine cables is a complex process that requires specialized ships and favorable weather conditions. Sources indicate that it may take several days, or even weeks, before the damaged infrastructure is fully restored.

The Red Sea is a vital corridor for global internet traffic, with several international cable systems passing through it. Disruptions in this region often cause ripple effects across Asia, Europe, and Africa.

This latest incident has once again highlighted the vulnerability of global internet connectivity, which relies heavily on a handful of undersea cables. Experts are calling for greater investment in diversified routes and satellite-based systems to reduce dependence on these choke points.

Meanwhile, users in India and Pakistan have been urged to expect continued slowdowns in streaming, video calls, and other bandwidth-heavy services until repairs are completed.–(Agencies)

Police Register FIR Over Hazratbal Emblem Damage*

Srinagar, Sept 06: Jammu and Kashmir Police have registered an FIR in connection with the breaking of the Ashoka emblem inside the Hazratbal shrine in summer capital Srinagar.

Reliable sources told news agency Kashmir Dot Com (KDC) that a case under FIR No. 76 of 2025 under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) stands registered at police station Nigeen.
Earlier on Friday, locals damaged an Ashoka emblem on the inaugural stone inside the Hazratbal Dargah after objecting to its installation, saying the emblem was against Islamic principles and should not be placed in a shrine.

Following the damage, J&K Waqf Board Chairperson Darakhshan Andrabi termed the act a grave insult to the shrine and called it “nothing less than terrorism.” She appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and law enforcement agencies for immediate arrests, alleging that the chaos was “deliberately engineered by political workers and their supporters.”

Srinagar MP Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi described it as an attempt to “monumentalise egos” inside a sacred place while NC MLA Tanvir Sadiq said the installation of a sculpted emblem contradicted the Islamic principle of Tawheed. (KDC)
